Teabaggers Thirsty for MoreMichelle Malkin on
deck to quench their thirst with more anti-tax rhetoric

MADISON
-- Self-described Republican teabaggers are set to descend on Milwaukee
Saturday in another attempt to disguise a corporate-funded event as a
grassroots gathering.While being
billed as a grassroots gathering, this weekend’s event is sponsored by
the right-wing Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a corporate-backed
interest group. AFP and their backers in the insurance industry are
spending more than $1 million a day to prevent health insurance reform
from passing.“If you want to
see true grassroots support, talk to working families across Wisconsin
who don’t have health insurance or live in fear of losing their
coverage,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate.
“Wisconsinites know the corporate-funded teabaggers don’t represent
their views on important issues. With friends like these, it’s no
surprise that the Republican Party continues to shrink.”Michelle Malkin
has a proven track record of blind, partisan attacks against working
families across the country. Just last month, she suggested unemployed
Americans would take advantage of unemployment benefits instead of
looking for work.“Malkin and
other leaders of the teabagging movement claim to fight for average
citizens while they’re actually in the pocket of corporate interests,”
said Tate. “The anti-worker and anti-reform rhetoric that Malkin has
become known for is not what Wisconsin and our nation needs.”
